Intel Israel once again is hanging out the “help wanted” sign as the
company says the Israeli branch provides it with 40 percent of its
profits.

Maxine Fassberg, general manager of Intel Israel, told the company’s
annual news conference in the southern city of Kiryat Gat, 20 miles
north of Be’er Sheva, that it will hire another 600 employees this
year.

Intel Israel hired 700 new employees last year, bringing its total
work force in Israel to 7,800.
